Patchouli Essential Oil

Powerful, enticing, and intoxicating with a slight hint of musk, patchouli essential oil has had quite a colorful history. In fact, even today, it is still commonly associated with hippies and it is even nicknamed “the scent of the sixties”.

However, patchouli oil was extremely popular even before the 1960s. It is believed that the Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun, better known as “King Tut”, was buried with 10 gallons of the essential oil in his tomb. The oil was also so very popular and prized that European traders used to exchange a pound of patchouli essential oil for one pound of gold.

What is Patchouli Essential Oil Made Of?

Patchouli essential oil (also commonly known as Pogostemon cablin) is derived from the dry leaves and stems of the patchouli plant, a type of aromatic herb that is a close relative of the mint, lavender, and sage families. Its name, “patchouli” is believed to have come from the Hindi word “pacholi” which means “to scent.”

Originally indigenous to Southeast Asia, the plant is now cultivated abundantly in multiple countries and continents, including Cambodia, the Caribbean islands, India, Madagascar, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritius, Myanmar, Philippines, Seychelles, South America, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.

There are three species of patchouli: Pogostemon cablin, Pogostemon heyneanus, and Pogostemon hortensis. Of the three species, Cablin is the most well known and is the one cultivated for its essential oil. This is because its properties and qualities are relatively more potent than the other species.

How is Patchouli Essential Oil Extracted?

Patchouli leaves can be harvested more than one time a year. The leaves and stems are collected by hand and left to dry in the shade for a few days.

These leaves and stems then undergo steam distillation to extract the essential oil. The oil ranges in color from pale yellow to a deep amber or even brown. In fact, two types of patchouli essential oil can be extracted from the same species of Pogostemon cablin: light and dark. The containers in which the leaves are distilled determine the colors. Light patchouli essential oil is steam distilled using steel vats. Dark patchouli essential oil, on the other hand, is steam distilled using iron vats.
